Those are nice!!!!!!!!!!

On my route to work/school-run, there's a chap with a gorgeous SAAB 96, I'll have to try & collar him one day for a proper look at it.


I was in Wakefield this afternoon & saw 2 rarities, both on Ings Road;
A Fiat Tempra estate, the last one I saw was the one we used to have :lol: (got a photo, will add later)
An Opel Manta GT/C in black (no picture, sorry), that was a 'minter', or looked to be.

ARE YOU SURE?!

I'm only going on what is written, & they state the figures came from the DVLA

Never were many 80S's, they gave way to the Coupe Quattro and the 90. Theres a few rare ones. RS2's, S2's and V8's are almost unseen

Weren't all Manta's RWD?
My half-bro had a 73 1.8 auto Manta A and that was.
So was my Sister in law's 83 B-GT/E. 2L injection and 5 speed box. Recaro's, factory bodykit etc, excellent machine.
I wish I'd kept that as it was clean as a whistle up top with factory finish paint.

No bottom left in it whatsoever though!
Shame.

Before the Landy bug bit, I had Ford stamped right through.
Lots of Cortinas and Mk2 Grandad's. In fact if they had carried on making the Mk2 i probably never would have switched to LR's!
Excellent tow car and fast as... well you know. :grin:

Campbell:
Had a TR5 for best part of 14 years, waiting to be restored
Didn't happen and it got sold a couple of years ago  :cry:

What a mistake that was
Did have an SD1 for a while, but like has been said earlier, drank fuel faster that I could put the stuff in.
 
Watching ashes for ashes does it for me, that Audi was always a dream of mine as a kid....

I thought the name was applied to the Cavalier equivalent later. Might be mistaken though.
